Drosera species

sundew

Water Plants

Seed, if available, may be surface sown onto evenly moist, peaty soil early in spring, 55-65F/13-18C; light is needed to germinate. Full sun, acidic peaty soil and constantly wet soil essential. May also be divided early spring. Hardiness of individual species varies markedly - some are strictly tropical, and others, i.e. Drosera rotundifolia, common or round-leaved sundew, grow throughout temperate zones

Many species are endangered, so buy specimens only from reputable dealers. Do NOT harvest specimens from the wild
